"You all still believe in me and for the first time in my life I do, too"

Tony Schiavone: "All right, on Saturday night, the 13th of November, it's Full Gear on Pay-Per-View for the Target Center in Minneapolis. And by winning the Casino Ladder Match, this next man has earned a World Title shot that night, deservedly so. The one and only, Hangman Adam Page. [Adam Page betritt den Ring] All right, Hangman Adam Page. You and Kenny Omega, long time Tag Team partners. A year ago you two met in the finals of the Eliminator Tournament. He won that match, he went on to become the World Champion. And now, on November 13th, it's your chance to become the AEW World Champion."

Adam Page: "Damn, I'm excited for Full Gear. In 2019 my friends and I, we left our home in Ring Of Honor, we left our home in New Japan to start All Elite Wrestling. And I was excited then, because I believed in our vision. I believed we could - and I believed we would - change the world. But it feels like the world changed us. I mean, it changed me. I told all of you on literal Day 1 that I would be the first AEW World Champion. And I failed. I lost to Jericho. I lost to PAC. And then it felt like I started to lose a hell of a lot more.

I lost my confidence. I lost my friends. And truthfully, I lost myself. But the one thing that it felt like, for whatever reason, that I never seem to lose, the one thing that grew week after week, that got just a little bit louder was these people chanting 'Cowboy Shit'. [Jubel und 'Cowboy Shit'-Chants] And to me, to me that's very real. Because Cowboy Shit was taking my shot on Day 1 and telling you I'd be Champion. Cowboy Shit was winning the Tag Team titles with Kenny and defending them every chance that we got. Cowboy Shit was learning to let the past live in the past and accept new friends into my life. And Cowboy Shit was taking my chance and putting it on the line. To stick my neck out for those friends, who stuck their necks out for me so many times. And Cowboy Shit was having the balls in the middle of the hottest run of my career to turn around and go back home to be there for the birth of a beautiful baby boy, that's Cowboy Shit.

So, last week, I finally picked up the phone. I put my body on the line, I climbed the ladder to grab the chip. To grab the shot at the one thing that's eluded me all this time. And to me that's the thing, that's the thing. When you fall off, you get back up. You get back on the horse, you keep riding, blazing on ahead. Because to me that is Cowboy Shit! Now, I'm not a fortune-teller. I'm not going to predict how Full Gear will end for me. But despite that brutal honesty, I feel like you all still believe in me. And for the first time in my life, I do, too.

So, the promise I can make is that at Full Gear I will give you everything. I will give you my heart, I will give you my soul. I will give you every fibre of my being. I will give you my blood, I will give you my sweat. And one way or the other, I feel like I may give you my tears. The one thing though that I am 100% sure about is that at Full Gear, I will give you Cowboy Shit!"
